Voted Best Looking 996 at the 2005 24 hours of Daytona in Florida. Owned by David Wesley - NBA Basketball Star for Charlotte Hornets and then Traded to New Orleans and recently finished his Career.
If you have to explain who it is, it's not a celebrity.
The ad also contains this gem that Porsche shoppers always seek:
Every Bell and Whistle that a Pro - Ball Player would add to a Porsche.
I'll attach a photo, but I'll refrain from linking the ad.
I almost missed this part:
Full Custom Aero Kit Ground Effects from Tech Art created for only TWO Porsches on Earth we are told. A King from Hawaii and David Wesley.

Tacky attention grabbing exterior add ons that make a sportscar look tawdry?

Translation - they couldn't find anybody else without a sense of aesthetics.
I think the same master designers worked for Mazda, those Pep Boys headlight covers were an option on 2001-05 Miatas. They look just as good in that application.

Yet somehow, they located one of the Kings of Hawaii...

See, I looked at it and saw Escort ZX2. Probably the same designer though.
Ewwwww.
Based on the thread title I was hoping this would be about Jon Voights LeBaron

And presumably also voted "Definitely the Only 996 Here."
I like the headlight covers, because I dislike the teardrop shape of the 996s. However, I don't like much else about it.
wait wait wait wait wait....
Theres still an NBA? I didnt think people still cared about pro basketball. I cant remember the last time I gave a corny-crap about pro basketball.
Talk about a mind-berk! Who knew?!?
In reply to 4cylndrfury:
I gave up a long time ago when they decided that a travel doesn't exist and before all the players were getting arrested for E36 M3 weekly....
I wonder if it is the same white Porsche that Wesley was racing his Charlotte teammate in when his teammate lost control of his own Porsche and died after sliding into oncoming traffic. 
Perhaps not, as the reference below mentions "coupe" but reporting can always be wrong.
I only recall the incident because I had just moved to Charlotte earlier the same month (01/2000).
Excerpt from NYT article on the incident:
The day after Phills was killed instantly when he lost control of his black Porsche and skidded into oncoming traffic shortly before 11 a.m. less than a mile from the Charlotte Coliseum, Hornet players met with grief counselors while the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department continued its investigation into the three-vehicle crash.
The police said Wesley and Phills got into their Porsche coupes -- Phills's was black, Wesley's white -- and began racing on Tyvola Road, a winding thoroughfare with moderate to heavy traffic on weekdays. While the two were traveling at what police said were speeds in excess of 75 m.p.h., Phills lost control of his car in a 45-m.p.h. zone. His car was struck on the driver's side door by an oncoming sedan, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Wesley has refused to speak with investigators, Charlotte-Mecklenburg County police spokesman Keith Bridges said. If any charges are filed, they would come at the end of the crash investigation, probably sometime next week, Bridges said.
''It looks like they were drag racing, which is legally defined as spontaneous speed competition,'' Bridges said yesterday.
i could see your average derpy reporter not knowing or easily recognizing the difference between coupe and roadster.
Or, between a roadster and a cabriolet.

That's probably why it's up for sale.
